Observance of Prayer

This is my adolescent, not necessarily true, observance of the importance of prayer. Prayer is such an important part of the walk for Christ, and I think it is something that we have troubles staying faithful with. This is especially true for men, because we seem to have this ego thinking that we should be individual and should not rely on anyone for help. Prayer has a direct correspondence with your relationship with Jesus, which is understandable. Think of it this way, if you have a poor relationship with a friend, you guys usually do not have a conversation often. This is the same way with God. The more you talk to him, the closer you become with him. If we do what 1 Thessalonians 5:17 says, and pray unceasingly, just think of what kind of relationship you will develop with Him! He will not only become the Lord of your life, but he will become your best friend.

I have started a dedicated prayer time everyday, and it usually lasts about ten minutes. I try to create a list of prayers that I can focus on, and then let my mind wander, in accordance in what to pray about next, after that. I am not sure if this is the correct way of praying, or if there IS a correct way, but it is how I pray until I find an improved method.

If anyone finds a flaw in my thinking in any of my topics, please shoot me an email or leave a comment. I find myself still a youth when it comes to my walk, and am trying to improve this by these writings. So please do not hold back when you see errors.
